Tears of Shiva shed into rivers. Cherry blossoms fell. The goddess of the confluence admired them for a time
before she released them. The tears scoured suffering. The petals added beauty. The river flows on.
I watch where streams of consciousness flow into one another and write what I see.

Change is the very nature of existence. Fear of change is our obstacle rather than the change itself. We can be slow to accept changes but they will come even to the unwilling and we will learn to walk a new path. I am currently making transitions from the stone age to the information age and I am finding the transition more painful than I would like to admit. It is true that I need to let technology do my driving for me, but I will miss the long visits to artsy gift stores around the country. Many of the places that I used to visit have not weathered the economic storm. What remains are shops with a strong presence online who access customers around the globe. The transition to globalization is very old news but for those of us who relish trips to places where there is rarely electricity and entertainment is a front porch chat, there has been a very deliberate foot dragging.

Here's what is happening. My postcard show announcements will completely disappear by the end of this year. They will be replaced by an email list serve. If you want to know when I am coming to a show near you you will have to subscribe. I will still be traveling for the near future.Sign up here, http://eepurl.com/oWRpL.

As a bonus, you will be notified when we receive new shipments or if we
are having a spectacular sale. That's it! I won't send you junk mail
every day or even every week, I promise.

Unsubscribing is also easy if you would prefer not to receive more
email. A simple click on "opt out" in any mailing will opt you out.

The big changes to the web site will take several weeks but soon anyone
who wants to make a purchase, either wholesale or retail, should be able to click on the item
and get it in about 4 business days. I will certainly make a big announcement when the changes are complete.

Learning can only happen in concert with change. May you experience peaceful transitions as you encounter the flowering of enlightenment!
